Maths... feet... dance!

4G have been using movement to explore symmetry this week.

First we looked at the variables that would be involved in our movements of our feet. Then we constructed eight-beat patterns of "translation" - identical movements in the two squares.

The next day we had to move to the classroom. We recapped on the first day's work and then made some eight-beat patterns of mirror reflection.

Thanks to Malke Rosenfeld for the inspiration for this lesson!
